I wrote about how I knew my marriage was over well before I actually left on my Substack this week.

It covers how women learn to stifle their intuition when it is inconvenient for others. But the truth will only stay buried for so long.

I feel like writing honestly about marriage and divorce is the new frontier. Like the explosion of writing about the hard parts of motherhood in the last few years, I see a surge of women ready to pull back the curtain on heterosexual marriage, how much we are expected to put up with, and how we hide how good it is on the other side.

I’m doing my part to expose it. Grateful to those like lyz (her new book American Ex-Wife coming in February) and Joanna Goddard and Kimberly Harrington and also Amanda Montei who doesn’t talk divorce but most definitely interrogates the institution of marriage and who it serves.

Also, I retitled this post after sending it out yesterday afternoon. One of the many things I love about Substack, that you can iterate and edit all the time.
